If I delete these files will the game stop pausing whenever a merchant arrives?

I'll test it myself if nobody knows.

I'm pretty sure those files are the text messages that show up when the related events occur, deleting them will possibly crash your game.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I am curious as to the purpose of those 4 files labeled end in one way or another... where's End1?

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

Those are the announcements used when your fortress crumbles.
2 3 and 4 are for siege deaths, abandon, and a third that I can't think of at the moment.
end1 WAS the old 2D HFS timer, which is why it's now missing, as that timer mechanic is long gone.

Pausing behavior's controlled by the /data/init/announcements.txt; there's a line in it to stop the merchant arrival pause -- [CARAVAN_ARRIVAL:A_D:D_D:P:R]. What does what is described at the top of the file.
